Depends on your definition of affordable.  There are less expensive 
places in the area - but they are all airport hotels.  Don't plan on 
easy walks from other hotels, and public transport in LA is ... well it 
is LA, land of the private automobile (and don't expect free parking.)

(compressionally heated, very dry, off-shore winds flowing from the desert).
